KOEB 7/20/06 "Laura Ingraham Grudge Match" Edition

[Berry Cool]

Good evening, Keith! Ready for Countdown?


"You bet!"

Well, guess who your competition is over on Fox tonight...hint: it has nothing to do with loofahs...



"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"


Join us. Help deliver Keith from evil.

[Patsy Stone]

1. LOL!

Nice opener! I loooove that picture.

I'm Rapture Ready. How 'bout you? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

2. My hair's OK, my nails could use work.

How 'bout you, Patsela? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

5. And he's wearing the old-man glasses and the Tigger tie!

:loveya: This is my last night of the week for live Keith. I'll be following in his footsteps tomorrow night: playin' baseball hooky. What can I say, can't resist the opportunity to sit in a corporate box.

[Patsy Stone]

8. Loverly!

Enjoy the game. Go, Indians!

[Berry Cool]

12. Yeah, go Indians...away!!

:rofl: I shouldn't say that, they won their last game. But it never fails: any time Keith predicts great things for a team, they sink like a stone. Well, at least if it's the Indians. Botany knows it.

[SharonRB]

15. Not true

He predicted the Tigers would be great this year, and they are. I sent him an e-mail a couple of weeks ago congratulating himm on his prescience, but, of course, he hasn't answered me since he gave up e-mail. Of course, he's never answered me before either.

[Berry Cool]

23. See, that's what I mean--if they're the INDIANS, they sink like a stone.

If they're the Tigers, they fulfill all his predictions!

Don't feel too bad, I never hear from him either.

[RevCheesehead]

41. And he wears their tie, too.

Isn't that what the TIGG-R tie is all about? :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

20. Which is why I like

that he wrote off the Marlins. They suck, but a lot less than I expected.

[Patsy Stone]

7. I'm doing just fine.

And his outfit isn't making me dizzy. All indicators positive!

Okay, my hair could be better...

[SharonRB]

3. Hi, guys!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

4. Hair and nails are okay,

but I'd like to lose another 20 pounds or so. Think I have time?

[Berry Cool]

9. If I have time to lose 100, you have time to lose 20.

Then again, do I have time to lose 100?

Hi Shar! :hi:

[SharonRB]

11. Not if I don't have time to lose 20

I lost 20 between January and May and haven't lost a thing since. I'm stuck in one place.

[WolverineDG]

106. Welcome to my world, Sharon

:)

:hi: from me playing hooky from work. :evilgrin:

dg

[ralps]

6. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone, Billo Replaced by Laura Ingraham???? Wow!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

17. Yes ralps, Laura is filling in as host for Bill-O.

Couldn't be a better fit, eh?

I'm now reading "Blinded By the Right." That author used to hang out with her a LOT. It's pretty funny. He refers to people like her and Ann Coulter as "the blond pundits" and "right-wing fag hags."

[Patsy Stone]

10. Is that Shrub on his mousepad?

It looks like the codpiece picture.

[SharonRB]

14. OMG, I think you're right

Unless it's an astronaut holding a helmet. It's hard to tell for sure.

How could he stand looking at Bush?

[bleever]

16. By golly, I think you're right.

And is he a lefty? As in handedness, ya know.

:)

:hi:

[SharonRB]

19. Looks that way.

And so am I.

[Patsy Stone]

21. Me three!

Wheeee!

And: BILL!!!! :loveya:

[SharonRB]

24. I don't know if I knew that.

And you share his birthday, too!

He's going to be here August 15 for a fundraiser with Stabenow. Wish I could afford the $1,000 or $2,500 to attend.

[bleever]

26. But Keef's got his pen in his right hand.

Maybe he's, you know..."bi".

:shrug:

[Berry Cool]

32. Keith's a righty for everything else but mousing.

Just look at the hand he holds the pen in on any given night.

That's why I find his lefty mousing so bizarre.

Then again, who am I to talk? I wear my watch on my right wrist. I just like it there, and there's no law says you HAVE to wear it on the left wrist.

[gkhouston]

109. I mouse left-handed and I'm a righty

that way, I can take pen-and-paper notes with the right hand if I want to. I also switch tools back and forth between hands (screwdrivers and such) to get the best angle on things. Everybody's a little :crazy:.

[Olney Blue]

39. Me four- I'm left-handed too!

Guess we are the ultimate leftist group!

[Patsy Stone]

29. No

But in my search for the mousepad, I did find this:

[bleever]

35. Like our Berry, a good Bush.

Kate: :loveya: (Platonically, in this case.)

[ralps]

18. Hi Patsy, It does look like the codpiece picture!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

25. Maybe he likes rolling his mouse over * sadistically.

Personally, I find it amusing that he's a lefty mouser. Usually righty writers are righty mousers. With him, it's like he has to mouse with the left hand so he has his right index finger free to type. :rofl:

It just seems strange to me...like using your left foot for the brake and your right foot for the gas. They deliberately teach you NOT to do that in driver's ed, so you don't hit both at once. :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

33. But I'm left-handed, and I mouse with my right hand

So, what does that say? Am I a freak? :)

[SharonRB]

45. I do everything lefty

[Berry Cool]

61. Yes, Pats, you are a freak.

Just like Keith. Flattering, eh? :-)

[Patsy Stone]

79. Very

But I'm really worried about myself. I wear my watch on my left hand. I'm gonna go lie down.

[Olney Blue]

78. I write left-handed, but I mouse and iron right-handed.

I also bat right-handed.

So, I can relate to your freakiness.

[Berry Cool]

92. Anyone else tried to figure out what bobbleheads KO has?

Looks as if most of them are ballplayers and probably are. But he also appears to have one of Ed Grimley and one of some guy in a suit with a beard.

[RevCheesehead]

94. I dunno - but I'd pay good money for a Keith bobblehead.

I'd pay good money for a Countdown promo poster, too.

*Does anyone at MSNBC read this??

[Olney Blue]

97. I was very annoyed that they didn't even have a KO coffee cup in the

NBC gift shop when I visited NYC!

[RevCheesehead]

100. Exactly!! We want Keith merchandise!!

Maybe Danny-Boy will be more open to suggestion? :)

[Berry Cool]

104. He should be. Better a KO bobblehead than a Tweety bobblehead

that just nods up and down whenever a Republican is on his show.

[RevCheesehead]

105. They could use "Bloggermann"

I mean, he looks sorta bobbly there, doesn't he?

[gkhouston]

111. yeah, but don't those tiny little forearms disturb you?

I mean, what's the deal with that? Is Bloggerman transmogrifying into T.Rex Man??

[WolverineDG]

107. Weelllll, we weren´t going to say anything

but now that you mention it....

:loveya: anyway. :hi:

dg

[gkhouston]

110. well, I'm a ten-fingered typist, so he may actually

use both of his index fingers on the keyboard... just to up his speed. ;-)

Actually, I started mousing left when I hurt my shoulder and it was so convenient that I never went back to mousing with the dominant hand. I only switch off if I've been working extremely long hours for days on end and the hand/arm/shoulder on that side starts to get tired.

What I'm wondering is whether or not that picture of blivet** has been doctored... perhaps the traditional Snidely Whiplash mustache had been added? :shrug:

[Botany]

13. Drive by blog

In case Berry gets tired.

[ralps]

22. Hi Botany, Awwww a Worn out sleeping Polar Bear!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

27. I guess Bot must have known how tired I am.

I know I'm tired when a Polar Bay Air looks like a good cushion.

[gkhouston]

112. well, at least we know that Crispi's been busy

:evilgrin:

[bleever]

31. Was that bay air at the same pool you went to last night?

Looks harmless, for people who don't smell like tuna fish.

[Berry Cool]

36. Me? Go to a pool last night? I wish.

Actually there's one on the first floor, but I haven't been there in a while.

[bleever]

43. No, Bot went to the pool last night.

My house has a pool too, but it's plastic and folds up.

Someday, I hope to upgrade:

[SharonRB]

28. And that long-term peace thing has gone so well in the past

hasn't it?

[ralps]

30. I can't wait until John Bolton is gone next year!!! Hopefully We'll have a

Democratic Congress then. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr:

[Berry Cool]

38. I still think Bolton looks like an angry Scrubbing Bubble.

And I stick to that description.

[bleever]

46. LOL.

It's funny, because it's true.

[Patsy Stone]

47. LOL! n/t

[gkhouston]

113. well, he does make me think of "scum" and other, um,

bathroom-related words, so I'd go with your assessment, Berry.

[Olney Blue]

34. Hi everyone! I've been out of town, and it's good to be back here.

:hi:


I was in Madison, Wisconsin and I'm in love with the place.

[bleever]

37. Welcome back, Olney.

Madison's a great town. I wouldn't exist if my parents hadn't met there.

[Olney Blue]

42. My taxi driver saw my little donkey on my lapel and sniffed:

I live outside the city limits because I can't stand the politics in Madison.

I gave him a tip anyway. :hi:

Yes, its one romantic place!

[RevCheesehead]

51. and I was born there!

:toast: Baby Liberals, unite!

[bleever]

66. My parents were Republicans back then.

Fortunately, they've gotten waaaay over that.

:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

72. It's in the water there.

It takes longer for the adults, but sooner or later, the scales fall from their eyes.

What's the Trek episode where Kirk enters hyper-acceleration? It's the stuff in the water that does it.

[bleever]

74. Lake Mendota.

My grandfather took us fishing for perch. I came back with mostly mosquito bites.

[Berry Cool]

57. "Hey, you Repugs better get in line, else the President won't visit you."

"Is that a threat or a promise?" :rofl:

[ralps]

40. Hi Olney Blue, Darn it, if you had PMed Rev & Me maybe we could have

met up in a neutral location!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Olney Blue]

44. OMG, I didn't make the connection you were in Wisconsin.

:(

[ralps]

48. That's ok, The next time you come to Wisconsin let us know please!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Olney Blue]

49. Will do!

And right back at you if you visit the DC area.

[RevCheesehead]

53. Ralps, dear -

there are no neutral locations in Madison! :evilgrin:

[ralps]

59. Hi RevCheesehead, Maybe Madison is a central location in Wisconsin???

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

63. I would suppose Madison thinks so.

At least, our church conference believes it. If you're north of Madison or Milwaukee, you don't exist.

[RevCheesehead]

50. You were here?

By "here," of course, I mean Wisconsin.
Damn, woman - we coulda gone to State Street together!!
(yes, I'd drive over that-away for you!)

:hug:

[Olney Blue]

75. Why, thank you!

I did spend some time on State Street. But I ain't talkin.

[RevCheesehead]

83. You know that Vegas slogan?

They stole that from State Street. :)

[Olney Blue]

85. LOL.

btw, can you OD on cheese? I think I did.

[RevCheesehead]

88. True story:

When I was a toddler, my mom took me shopping at the local Kroger. As she went through the aisles, she grabbed some cheese, and handed it to me. By the time we got to the checkout counter, I had managed to gnaw through the cellophane wrap, and had eaten at least 1/3 of the package. I became known as "the little girl who loves cheese so much." O8)

And, um, yeah - you probably can. But what a way to go! :9

[Patsy Stone]

91. True story:

I was at a birthday party when I was a kid, maybe six or seven. It was time to eat cake, and I said I didn't want any. From that moment on, and well into my adolescence, every time someone would offer me cake, my mother would say, "She doesn't like cake."

You cheeselover, you. O8)

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

96. You sound suspiciously like Marie Antoinette.

Please hold on to your head, firmly. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

98. Did she have a Jewish mother too?

That could explain a lot.

[SharonRB]

101. Not even yellow cake?

[Patsy Stone]

102. Not even a nice bobka.

LOL!

I also had to say, every time, "No, Mom. I like cake."

[Olney Blue]

95. Your love of cheese is truly innate, then, and I

genuflect before it.

[RevCheesehead]

99. Why else do you think I love the baby Cheesus?

[Patsy Stone]

52. Year Five is a year of firsts...

A veto. The NAACP.

What a maroon.

IT'S TOO LATE, GEORGIE!

[SharonRB]

54. How about the first time he does something right?

Will that happen this year, too?

[RevCheesehead]

58. Oh, major snark!!!

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

64. I'll be here through the weekend

Have some veal. Please????

[Patsy Stone]

67. LOL!

Resignation is a good start. :)

[SharonRB]

69. Me likey that one!

[RevCheesehead]

56. What does he mean, he doesn't seem to know what to do NOW?

Some of us been screamin' that for 5 years. :eyes:

Hiya, Pats. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

62. I can't seem to come to tems

with the fact that so much time remains for these creeps.

:hi:

[CBHagman]

108. Did you notice how Bush spells out N-A-A-C-P?

I've never run across anybody who doesn't say "N Double-A CP."

Then again, Bush thinks there are two U's in nuclear. :eyes:

[gkhouston]

114. and suddenly, we notice Darfur

what was it, Black People Day for the White House? (And by "Day", I literally mean "day". That was it. The box has been checked off.)

[ralps]

55. Yay!!! Howard Fineman says that the Republican party is down to the

Right to Lifers!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

60. He so did.

And he said he can't influence world events. He's a BOZO!

[Berry Cool]

65. Pretty soon it'll be down to the zygotes

And they're too young to vote.

[Olney Blue]

70. Not according to the GOP. They are full-fledged citizens.

[RevCheesehead]

71. Isn't it immoral to use a zygote for personal gain?

By that, I mean - isn't it wrong to use them, not because you care about their life (check out *'s girlfriend's abortion), but because you can manipulate others who do?

Some day, the religious hypocrites right will wake up and realize they've been used.

[Patsy Stone]

76. No they won't...

Who are you kidding? They're waiting for the rapture, or Hale-Bopp, or some such rot.

Hypocrisy is not in short supply in this administration.

[Berry Cool]

68. Did you guys see what I posted in another thread?

Keith's hittin' LA again next week. He will be on Leno again Tuesday and on Craig Ferguson's show Friday. :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

73. Oh-oh.

Isn't that where "the girlfriend" lives? :scared:

And please don't answer "which one." :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

87. Yeah. Men love those bicoastal relationships, doncha know.

:rofl: I'm sure the rumors will fly. Whatever.

[ralps]

77. Today's Worst person in the world is.... Bill O'Reilly!! For dissing the

"Liberal Jews" (i think that's who BillO was dissing but I'm not sure??) :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :rofl: :rofl:

[Moochy]

103. Did you notice Stewie from Family Guy?

How long has the baby with the football head been announcing "Bill O'Reilley worst person in the world!" :rofl: Go Stewie!

[ralps]

80. Keith's Weird Animal Story's & Rabbits in a Blanket!! LOL

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

81. Poor Tiger

Where is Tiger?

[SharonRB]

82. So will Golden Palace be making a new eBay purchase soon?

[Patsy Stone]

86. Oh!

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

89. Thanks for the drum roll!

[Patsy Stone]

84. What was Joe's Nancy Grace crack?

MeeOWWW!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

90. It started with Keith. He brought up Nancy Grace first.

Then again, I don't think she'd be bothering with the two-faced kitty. No semen involved in the story. Lately it seems that unless a story involves semen, she ain't there.

[Patsy Stone]

93. The nostrils

The voice. The helmet hair. The clear absence of a neck. These are only some of the reasons I can't watch her.
